When it comes to recreating in the outdoors as a woman, some things are different. Some things are easier, some things are harder. Some things are well-known and talked about, others are not. Paddling in the Boundary Waters as a woman, whether it be as a guide, a participant, or a personal recreator, has the power to be an incredibly empowering, life-altering experience. Join this presentation and hear from Gillian and the women she’s worked alongside over the years as they share stories, tips they learned over time that they wished they’d known from the beginning, and uplifting advice on how to level the playing field. Whether you’re a novice paddler, an expert, someone who’s paddled in the Boundary Waters countless times, or only ever dreamed of it, a woman or supporter of women in the outdoors, there is something to be learned from this presentation.
